Positively Charming

Positively Charming Color Option

Fabric Art Wall Hanging

If you have fat quarters you can’t bear to cut into small pieces, combine them with larger pieces to cover purchased stretched artist’s canvases. Black-and-white florals and prints, such as these from the Night and Day 2 collection for Robert Kaufman Fabrics, make striking wall art.

Red-&-White Delight Color Option

Solid Squares Bed Quilt

Bright solid-color squares pop off the gray background in this simple-to-sew grid quilt. We used 15 assorted fat quarters of Shot Cottons by Kaffe Fassett for Westminster Fabrics to make a twin-size bed quilt.

Sugar & Spice Color Option

Tulip Time Panel Quilt

Start with a panel—this one is from Fresh by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics—and add a series of borders to make a bright and lively throw. Designer Patti Henderson surrounded the printed panel center with triangle-square, straight, and piano-key borders made with fabrics from the same collection.

Island Dreams

Island Dreams Color Option

Free-Style Piecing Wall Hanging

For this quilt, break some rules by cutting odd angles and quirky centers. Use novelty prints and fussy-cut the desired motif for about half of the block centers. Add variety by using one of the novelty prints for the outer border, but in a different colorway.

Happy Medium

Happy Medium Color Option

Hourglass Made Easy Bed Quilt

Made only using squares, this hourglass block quilt makes great use of a selection of coordinated prints from Janet Broxon’s Chloe collection for P&B Textiles. Arrangement doesn’t matter—the diagonal seams and darker fabrics in each block will create graphic angles across the quilt top.

All The Trimmings Color Option

Trim It Tote

Pick a great base fabric, such as this black-and-white print designed by M’Liss Rae Hawley for Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts Stores. Have fun with ribbons and other trims to make your bag unique. M’Liss combined velvet, silk, chenille, and grosgrain ribbon, selected from May Arts Ribbons, with appliquéd leaves and knotted sheer silk for textural appeal.

Across The Table Color Option

Red, White & Blue Table Runner

Begin with traditional Rail Fence units and add triangles and squares to make three striking blocks. These prints from Minick & Simpson’s Flag Day Farm collection for Moda Fabrics make a festive table runner.
